To answer your questions accurately, I need to know what specific chart you're referring to regarding the full moon dates. However, I can provide general information regarding full moons and their characteristics.

  1. Typically, full moons occur once a month, and without the specific chart, I can't identify the two dates. Commonly, a full moon will be the day that is around the middle of the lunar month.

  2. Yes, when there is a full moon (like on Halloween night 2020), it means that the entire face of the moon that is visible from Earth is illuminated by the sun. This occurs because the Earth is positioned between the sun and the moon, allowing the sun's light to fully illuminate the near side of the moon.

If you can provide the specific dates from the chart, I can help identify which ones had full moons.
